John Hughes wont offer much for cars with over 20,000km per year since manufacture if they will take it at all.

I got my WRX from http://www.westsideauto.com.au/index.php
They have a few in now actually.

Without trying to gush to much I was VERY impressed by the service I got from them. They are very much a no BS dealership....There was no hard sell and they dont pretend to know everything about the cars in stock so we were left alone until we wanted to open negotiations....of which there were few because the trade in price offered was the best I had been offered and was actually very close to its private market value which was a pleasant suprise.

We decided to let them organise the finance to see what figures they could come up with and again we were pleasently suprised. We got a lower than I could find interest rate and they also managed to get us a very competative insurance premium.
The finance lady there is very good at what she does and did not come across as the usual dealership finance reseller.

Also we inspected and drove the car on a Wednesday evening and I was driving it away on the Friday lunchtime!

yeah they look ok wish that bugeye wasnt an auto lol

*cough cough** mines manual *cough*

lol just slightly too dear i would possibly go to 16k but thats it i am getting ear ache off the wife now for losing money on the falcon and having no job and wanting another subaru!!!

And she wont let me go into the savings coz i aint working she wouldnt notice 1 or 2k missing though

yeah i hear ya mate... I already have the mrs starting to tell me I cant go out rushing to mod the new car right away haha. guess i have to start making some side cash lol

Lol!!

Well to update this they offered $13.600 saying they would have to spray front bumper (stone chips) and put two new tyres on although they have 3mm above wear indicators i personally he was just trying anything to knock down the car he did offer 13k lol i said see ya he then said ok lets take it for a spin lol

so now my dilema do i accept or just try carsales???

I would say to the dealer $14K and I'll trade in... see what he says then.

Cut your losses $5K and climb into something you have wanted for a while

i tried that he wouldnt butch it was 13.600 or nothing lol

i so regret not buying that subaru in november lol

if your willing to accept 14k, then 400 is a small sacrifice for getting a subaru. i would do it if its just 4-500$.

It's a buyers market and you should be glad you have a buyer. My mate's had hsi car on the market for over a year. Make sure you get something that will be sellable as well. i.e no falcadores.
